August 30 (THEWILL) – Barely 24 hours after being removed by a military junta, the ousted President of Gabon, Ali Bongo Ondimba, has begged the world to make noise over his fate.
Bongo, who is being held in confinement in the residence within the presidential palace in the nation’s capital, in a viral video, lamented the fate of his son and wife, who he said are being held in separate locations.
“My name is Ali Bongo Ondimba, President of Gabon. I am sending a message to all friends that we have all over the world, to tell them to make noise, to make noise,” Bango said in the 50-second video clip.
THEWILL reports that the military, on Wednesday, announced a coup in Gabon, deposing President Ali Bongo Ondimba, who was declared winner of Saturday’s controversial election.
